Meh, I just read Anton's reply to Frans, and I realized I read Frans'
message a bit too quickly. He uses AltGr as Compose, but I actually type
AltGr+e to get é!! Because of the "altgr-intl" variant, of course. It be
really great that such usage doesn't get broken, in case you weren't
aware it exists.
